News, and a photo

Good news:
Found out today that Medicaid will completely cover the unpaid (by insurance) portion of Adele's hospital stay, which means ZERO out-of-pockets costs for us! That is a HUGE relief. Our portion was only (only!) $4,000, which isn't huge compared to how much her total bill was, but still. That's a decent chunk o' change. It's nice to know she's ours, free and clear. ;)

Had a quick weight check today and she was 16 pounds on the nose! Finally!

So-so news:
She's failed the hearing screen twice in her left ear. We're now onto a referral to an audiologist and will go from there. I'm not terribly concerned, but just wondering what, if anything, is going on.

The fun news:
We had our first water class on Saturday. It was fun but a LOT of work for me. I am terribly out of shape and it was hard work holding her and doing modified water aerobics for 30 minutes. But it's a great group of moms and babies and I think it'll end up being a good workout. Adele seemed to have fun too!

Ahhh, what a cute little swimsuit! hee-hee. I can imagine how hard that would be. How interesting. You'll have to let me know how Adele likes it. GREAT news on the finance coverage! Wo-hooo!! Hopefully the ear stuff will just work its way out. I have no idea how ears develop but if the rest of her is still catching up, maybe her ears are too, right?
